DISCOURSE: 1200JONAH’S REFLECTIONS IN THE WHALE’S BELLYJohn 2:7-9. When my soul fainted within me I remembered the Lord: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple. They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy. But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the Lord.TO take a retrospect of our feelings, under circumstances of peculiar trial, is exceedingly beneficial. There are times when we realize in... read more

Spurgeon's Verse Expositions of the Bible - Jonah 2:9

Salvation of the Lord May 10, 1857 by C. H. SPURGEON (1834-1892) "Salvation is of the Lord." Jonah 2:9 . Jonah learned this sentence of good theology in a strange college. He learned it in the whale's belly, at the bottom of the mountains, with the weeds wrapped about his head, when he supposed that the earth with her bars was about him for ever. Most of the grand truths of God have to be learned by trouble; they must be burned into us with the hot iron of affliction, otherwise we shall not... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Jonah 2:1-10

Chapter 2Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's belly ( Jonah 2:1 ),Jonah must have been a stubborn man indeed that he would wait three days and three nights before he would begin to pray. He was determined not to take the gospel to the Gentiles. He was determined not to go, sitting it out for three days and three nights.Now he describes the conditions that he was in.And he said, I cried by reason of my affliction unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Jonah 2:1-10

Jonah 2:4 . Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight. After what we have heard of the misguided and offending conduct of Jonah, we need not wonder to find him sinking into deep dejection and distress. He is now in the stomach of the fish, at the bottom of the mountains, crying to the Lord, while his reflections upon his past conduct are filling him with the bitterest anguish. He was an Israelite, but now cast away, and fearing it will be his lot to die among the heathen, where no eye will... read more

John 2:1-9And Jonah prayed unto the Lord his God, out of the fish’s belly.The return to GodThe object in setting forth the history of Jonah is to show the nature of his sin, the truth of his penitence, and the way in which he was restored to God’s favour. Turn thought to the change which was worked in Jonah’s soul. Bear in mind what was the nature of his sin It was not that he was separated from God, but that he had abandoned his duty, had shrunk from his mission, had thought more of his own... read more

John 2:9I will pay that that I have vowed.A forgotten vowI heard of a sea-captain who had been wrecked, and with whose ship most of the crew and passengers were lost. He himself had only saved his life by holding on to a plank, and had for a considerable time been completely at the mercy of the waves, but fortunately had been rescued, and was then travelling in the stage-coach to rejoin his family. He told his fellow-passengers his sad story, and all of them pitied him, but wondered why a man... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Jonah 2:1-9

THE PRAYER OF JONAH, Jonah 2:1-9. Jonah 2:1 is the introduction, indicating the circumstances under which the prayer was offered.

After repeated figurative descriptions of the danger and distress into which he had been plunged, he glorifies Jehovah for the salvation wrought (3-6). The supplicant closes with the assurance that he will not forget the... read more
